| | You have alighted on the home page of St. Clement of Alexandria Liberal Catholic Church, serving Collin County and the Dallas Metroplex. We are a parish of the Liberal Catholic Church International, an Independent (non-Roman), autocephalous Catholic body, whose Apostolic Succession stems from the Old Catholic movement in Holland. We are 'liberal' because we are free to use our minds; we are 'catholic' because we hold to the ancient tradition of Christian worship handed down by the Apostles.
Our worship is traditional (Tridentine Mass), yet open to all seekers, reflecting an attitude of mystical devotion to the Holy Trinity as well as a profound respect for humanity, made in the image of God. Those desiring the Catholic sacraments, searching for spiritual insight, and seeking fellowship with like-minded souls will find here a haven of peace and a sanctuary for regeneration in the midst of an increasingly fragmented, uncharitable, and chaotic world.
We do not claim to have all the answers, for the Church is not a static museum but an organic reality, ever vital and ever evolving. Instead, we try to provide a place where reverent worship may lead one forward into ever deepening awe, ever greater service in Christ. Our members range in their focus--from the orthodox to the esoteric. We erect no barriers to Christ's altar. If you hunger or thirst, come. |

Collect for St. Clement of Alexandria
O God of unsearchable mystery, who didst lead Clement of Alexandria to find in ancient philosophy a path to knowledge of thy Word: Grant that thy Church may recognize true wisdom, wherever it is found, knowing that wisdom cometh forth from thee and leadeth back to thee; through our Teacher Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen.
